So you want to purchase some new carpeting for your home. You envision that perfect carpet, with it’s soft touch and cozy atmosphere. But at the same time, you want a carpet that is durable and that will stand up to all the years of heavy traffic and spills. So what is the perfect carpet for you?
Take a look at our checklist of things to keep in mind when deciding on some new carpeting for your home.
Durability: As we mentioned before, you want a carpet that is going to last through all the grounding and pounding it will encounter through the years. Do you have a pet or children? These little guys can wreak havoc on carpet, whether it’s from a pets nails or the ‘oopsies’ from your children. If your carpet is going to endure through heavy traffic on a daily basis, you might want to think about a denser carpet. The denser the carpet, the more gracefully it will wear.
Softness: Of course, when it comes to carpet, the softest of the carpets are the favorites. So keep in mind the types of carpet fibers that are available. Wool is a favorite because it’s durable, eco-friendly and very soft, but it also can be a bit pricier. Nylon is also a popular choice, considered by many flooring experts to be the most durable of carpets. One of our customer favorites when it comes to softness is our SmartStrand Carpet.
Stain Resistant: Obviously carpet has a tendency to absorb moisture, so finding a stain resistant carpet, especially if you answered yes earlier to having pets or children, is vital. Here at Jabro Carpet One, we offer a variety of carpets with built-in stain protection. Take a look at our recent blog post on SmartStrand Carpet, one of our top stain-resistant carpets.

So weigh these options, think about what is most important to you and of course, give us a call. We are always willing to help with your decision and provide advice.
